The seats in 1st class are very comfortable and relaxing. The toilets and the train were very clean and there were no defects. The Wi-Fi on board is not always the best.

The train journey was okay, but nothing more. I had no other good connection to my destination, so the train was the most logical choice. The seats were okay, but not particularly comfortable. Unfortunately, the toilet in my carriage was locked and the next one was constantly occupied. It was also quite noisy, especially at high speed. At least the train was on time and the price was still acceptable, but overall the experience was mixed.

Travelling to Frankfurt for work, the train is the best option for me personally. I haven't looked at any other alternatives apart from the car. What I like best is the fast connection, I am regularly annoyed by the poor internet connection. I travelled in the afternoon, it was comfortable, everything was clean WiFi used and disappointed, the train was on time, the service was friendly and good, I didn't get anything in the restaurant. Price 55€ (despite BahnCard 50), value for money ok.

The journey on the ICE from Frankfurt to Munich was surprisingly pleasant for me, even though I was travelling without a reservation. The train arrived on time and we found seats despite not having a reservation. The seats looked neat and comfortable, even in second class I had enough legroom to comfortably endure a few hours. The atmosphere on the train was pleasant. The staff were very professional and helpful when asked. In the end, I arrived in Munich not only on schedule, but also much more relaxed than I had expected from a journey lasting several hours.

My journey on the ICE from Frankfurt to Munich in second class without a reservation went surprisingly well. There was already a lot going on when I boarded, but with a little patience I found a free seat and immediately felt comfortable. The mood in the carriage was relaxed, people were chatting, some were reading or listening to music, and that made the atmosphere pleasant. The train was clean. The train staff were friendly and helped immediately with any questions. The connection ran without any delays. I can only recommend this train journey.

All in all, a smooth, comfortable and recommendable journey that I would choose again at any time.

I travelled to Munich to meet an old friend ICE connection was the best option to get there after a thorough research. What I liked most was that the train and especially the train staff were very friendly, but the bad thing was the half hour delay despite all this the journey was very comfortable. The toilets were very clean and there was good wifi on board. The train was as I said half an hour late but the service was great the on board restaurant was very tasty I only paid €17 one way. No, after a very good price-performance ratio.

The service on board was friendly and the on-board bistro offered a wide range of food. Unfortunately, the train was quite full, so it was a bit noisy at times. We also reached Munich with a slight delay. The wifi didn't work for parts of the journey. All in all, however, it is recommended to travel this route.

However, the prices for food and drinks in the on-board catering were high, which can be burdensome for longer journeys.

I recently had the pleasure of travelling by train from Frankfurt to Munich and I would like to share my experience. Overall, it was an extremely positive journey, but there was also a small disappointment. Two of the most notable positive features of this train journey are. Comfort and convenience: the seats on this train were, extremely comfortable and provided enough space to feel at ease during the journey. Legroom was generous, which is invaluable, especially on longer journeys such as this one from Frankfurt to Munich. The seats were ergonomically designed and allowed for a relaxed seating position. Punctuality and reliability: A big plus point of this trip was the punctuality of the train. It arrived exactly at the scheduled departure time and even reached its destination a few minutes earlier than expected. This reliability is especially important when you have business appointments or connecting trains to catch. It was reassuring to know that you could rely on the train's schedule. The only negative feature I experienced during my journey was: Cost: Although the overall quality of the trip was great, I found the ticket prices a bit high. It would be nice if there were more affordable options to travel this route, especially for travellers on a limited budget. Despite this minor limitation, my overall train journey from Frankfurt to Munich was extremely pleasant. The comfort, punctuality and overall quality of the journey far outweighed the price factor. I would definitely recommend this train route.

The ICE 525 offers a fast and efficient connection between Frankfurt and Munich. It was a successful combination of comfort, speed and a pleasant environment. However, some minor improvements in service and facilities could help to make the travel experience even more pleasant. Specifically, I mean that the wifi did not work smoothly. Likewise, the assortment in the on-board bistro was somewhat limited.

The train journey from Munich to Frankfurt was an absolutely pleasant experience that will remain in my positive memory. The train boat, an impressive equipment, which raised the comfort during the journey to the highest level. The seats were comfortable and ergonomically designed, which made for a pleasant feeling even during the longer duration of the journey. The generous legroom added to the cosiness. The service on board also deserves praise. The train staff were friendly and helpful, and the gastronomic area. A varied selection of snacks and drinks. The cleanliness on the train was remarkable/the carriages were obviously cleaned regularly, did you a pleasant atmosphere amounted. I was really impressed with the punctuality of this train journey. The train left exactly at the scheduled departure time and reached Frankfurt without any significant delays. This reliability is particularly valuable as time is often a crucial factor when travelling. I found the price-performance ratio to be extremely fair. The amenities offered, the comfort and the service definitely justify the ticket price. It is gratifying to be able to enjoy such a pleasant travel experience for a reasonable price. Of course, there were a few negative points, but they hardly matter. The Wi-Fi connection could possibly be improved to allow travellers to use the internet seamlessly. In addition, the selection of vegetarian and hot dishes at the on-board restaurant could be expanded to meet the needs of different passengers. Overall, however, the positive aspects of this train journey far outweigh the negative. The excellent facilities, the high level of comfort, the friendly service, the cleanliness, the punctuality and the ferry price-performance ratio make this travel option a first-class choice. I would definitely recommend the train journey from Munich to Frankfurt and am already looking forward to my next opportunity to experience it again.

My train journey from Frankfurt (Hbf) to Munich was fine. The wifi on the train was average, as was the toilet and the seats were comfortable, and the staff were friendly. We had a journey time of 3 hours and 30 minutes with only 10 minutes delay. The value for money was good as I paid about €75. Overall the journey was satisfactory but the wifi could have been better. However, the comfortable seats and friendly staff made up for the minor inconveniences. I would consider the train for the route, but hope for an improvement in wifi and toilets for future trips.

The comfort was also outstanding. A small DB sweet was also distributed, which was also thoughtful. The train was otherwise very full.

The train connection from Frankfurt am Main to Munich impressed me with its comfort, speed and hygiene, as is usually the case with ICE connections, but this time it was overshadowed by problems on the train line. We had to stop just one station after Frankfurt am Main because there were supposedly problems with the overhead line, then there was no more communication with us and in the end I arrived in Munich about 2 hours late.
